Dances

The Kenmore West High School sponsored dances and events provide our students a special opportunity to gather in a social and recreational setting within the school building. Our school and district have taken several proactive measures to ensure that all students are safe at school dances. The Ken-Ton School District also has a zero tolerance Anti-Harassment Policy. Any student who engages in this type of conduct before, during, or after a school dance/event (on or off school property) will be subject to school disciplinary action and criminal charges.

Start/End Times: All school dances will begin at 7:00 PM and end at 10:00 PM.

Eligibility: Students must be academically eligible and in good standing to attend school dances and proms.

Entrance/Exit Procedures: Students will enter all dances through doors 24 and 26

Valid School Student ID: Students must present a valid 2018-2019 school picture ID at the entrance in order to be admitted into any school dance, ball, or prom.
